### Step 2: Set WinRDS Environment Variables

There is one last step to work with PC-DMIS. If you are using a version of WinRDS prior to version 5.0, you need to set the WinRDS directory in the path of the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel to open the Control Panel.

2. Double-click the System icon to open the System Properties dialog box.

3. Select the Advanced tab.

4. Select the Environment Variables button.

5. In the System Variables section of the Environment Variables dialog box, scroll down until you see Path on the left. Select Path from the list and click the Edit button.

6. Go to the end of the Variable Value line, and add a semicolon (;) followed by the path of the WinRDS installation, like this:
   C:\Program Files\CIMCORE\WinRDS

7. Click OK on the Edit System Variable dialog box, click OK on the Environment Variables dialog box, and click OK on the System Properties dialog box.

At this point, you can launch PC-DMIS. You may get a message that says "Retrieving arm specs from the machine" based on how you have configured WinRDS. You can change this setting through the Arm Utilities program.
